How can I play a 8 vs. 8 normal game with a friend?

[kmustard]

I want to do this like I've been able to with all the others (2, Armageddon etc.). Just me and a friend, one PC, 8 vs 8.

So far, it seems I can only do 4 vs. 4 and even then, I can only pick from 4 worms in total, which means both teams have the same worm names (with the second team's names having "1" after them)!

To make things more frustrating, I tried to name one of the 4 worms you can make in the game (which I still find retarded) "Ruby", but the game said it was in use! Where?

Anyway, can anyone help? The menus in this game are awful in general, and the menu transitions just make it painfully slow to quickly navigate.

Really? The menus are actually pretty good and not confusing as far as I can tell. Whatever.

That's possible with 2 teams vs 2.

No, you can pick from any worms you want. The teams don't have to be the same. Also, you can create multiple profiles to add different teams to the game. Best copy your own profile and rename it to keep your class unlocks.

Look for it. It's got to be one of your worms.

No, it's not one of my worms, I can only find a place to name four worms in total, and it's non of those!

Please explain how to make a 8 vs. 8 local game, and name all 16 worms individually.

I've played literally hundreds of PC games, the menus in this game are crap, this is a fact and not an opinion.

There would be many to highly disagree with you, pretty sure it's just you.

Create more player teams:

Main Menu
-> Customisation
-> Player Profiles
-> Create New Profile (Or click on your own, then select Copy Profile and rename it)

Name Worms (First select the profile you want to change the names for):

Main Menu
-> Customisation
-> My Worms

You should have more than 4 Worms unless you haven't unlocked them yet.

It uses the same UI as the console version, no? If so, then he's right. It's a horribly inefficient UI for a platform that uses mouse and keyboard as it's main input. And this is not arguable. You may be ok with using something terrible, but that does not make it not terrible.

It's built in the same way as the one from Terraria/Minecraft/Team Fortress 2/Altitude/a lot lot lot lot of other games that I know and I've never felt drop down lists were anything near terrible. Buuuuut you will continue disagreeing with me anyways so I'll just leave it that way.

like they said, 8v8 isn't possible in this game, you have to play 4+4 vs 4+4
